🆘 We were alerted to a boat carrying 25 people on the way from Sirte, #Libya, towards Sicily. They are drifting in the Maltese SAR zone. Coastguards and the merchant vessel KOHAKU were alerted, but do not react. Rescue is urgent!

🆘 We were alerted to a group of 7 people, whose last location is reported by relatives to be near #Alexandroupoli. The relatives report the 7 people were arrested several days ago by #Greek authorities but there has been no news of them since. We fear this was a #pushback!
